Use the paragraph to answer the question.

Joachim always had a hard time falling asleep, and tonight was no different. He decided to try his usual tricks to help him fall asleep. First, he sat in bed and read for thirty minutes. Twenty minutes after he finished his milk, Joachim finally began to drift off.

The writer of this paragraph wants to add the sentence, “When that didn’t work, he heated up some milk in the kitchen.” Where is the best place for this sentence in the paragraph in order to keep a logical sequence of events?

The best place for the sentence “When that didn’t work, he heated up some milk in the kitchen” to maintain a logical sequence of events is after the second sentence. This is because the sentence implies that heating the milk was an attempt to help him sleep after the initial tricks (like reading) did not work.
